Podcast Insights
Content Themes
This podcast covers a wide range of topics related to data governance, including AI governance, data quality standards, and the importance of executive support. Specific episodes delve into themes such as measuring data governance value, the implications of data lineage, and the relationship between data quality and governance.

The Connected Data Podcast explores the fascinating, messy, powerful world of data — not just governance, but the full ecosystem of how data shapes modern life. Each episode dives into how data is created, connected, bought, sold, secured, misused, misunderstood, and woven into the stories we see in the media and the decisions organisations make every day. It’s a fresh, curious, human take on data in the real world, building on the strong foundations of Nicola Askham’s original Data Governance Podcast while expanding the lens to everything that makes data interesting.
In this episode of the ConnectED Podcast, we are joined by strategic communications specialist Emma Curtis, Founder & CEO of Curtis Collective Ltd to explore how data is used far beyond traditional data governance.
We discuss the role data plays in sales and marketing, how organisations use data to drive transformation and strategic change, and why trust in data is critical for effective decision-making.
We also examine the challenges of data maturity, the growing influence of AI, and the importance of balancing technology with human judgement. A fascinating conversation for anyone interested in how data shapes organisations, culture, and business success.
